  1. (I don't think they ever intend to become U.S. citizens.   They can spend a lot of time in Florida, without that, and they're definitely going back to Canada someday.   There are different residency requirements for visitors from Canada than from other countries).    

    I was looking to see what her design website looked like online, and right after they're fighting about downsizing, for the Florida home, and when they move back to Canada, I ran across an article by Sarah on how to declutter.     I guess that's aimed at the rest of us, because except for what they sold with the house, they packed everything. I find that pretty ironic, since they probably needed a bunch of moving vans, and will need a bunch to move back to Canada.     They still have stuff stored in Canada too. 

    So, they think anyone cares that the four kids, parents and dog have to share an RV for a couple of months?   If that's too crowded, rent another one and park it in the garage too, and you'll have plenty of extra room.   They could even get one with the big slide out sections for more room.    

    Now the resort has Covid infected staff?   What part of this is a surprise?   You know they had to have run into this before, so it's another storyline, isn't it? 

    So, who takes care of the kids when both parents are in the Bahamas?    I really don't care about designing the kid's rooms, and hardwoods are a bad idea, so if the air conditioning goes off, bad things will happen.   So, unless they have a whole house generator, those wooden floors are going to be ruined.   I wonder if they do the Florida standard of doors opening out, not in?  For wind resistance.  

    Sarah wants to put either a grapefruit tree, or orange tree in her daughter's room?  Plant it outside, and it might live.    Her daughter certainly followed her mother's ideas of changing her mind constantly.       

    The second story sounds awful.   That's a gigantic house already, and the second story will be ridiculous.    I wonder if Qynton's (?) room on the first floor,  will turn into a guest suite for Brian's parents, so that's why they need the second story for the giant rooms for the children.   I wonder if all of the kid rooms will have ensuites?   You know they'll have to have gigantic closets for all of the stuff they have, and never downsize.  

    Why don't they rent a big storage unit for the house materials?   And why did they prioritize finishing Sarah's office, and the hangar before finishing the house?  

    For people who move so often, they don't label anything.  If you label the boxes and storage bins properly, it's much easier.   They don't plan anything.    And why are they moving endless amounts of stuff from house to house?   Just have what they need to live, and store the rest until they can move into the remodeled house.

    10 years? He and Jenny have known each other for 10 years?

    Yes, they said they met online about 10 years ago, Jenny visited India and stayed as a friend with Sumit's parents, while boinking Sumit.   Then, she left everything behind, including her daughter's couch she was sleeping on, and her car, and went to India. They married, and now here we are.

  3. To me it's very sad that some like Britney Spears (spelling?) and others,  spend their entire life posting online.   No such thing as a private conversation, nothing too personal to post on multiple media.  However, I bet the ex, and sons have Britney blocked on everything they can, and probably have others who pass along everything to them, or see it posted on media.   

    I can't imagine some of the influencers or celebrities who post every meal, every activity, and all to get more followers.   The worst are the wanna be influencers who thing everything they do is fascinating to the rest of us.    Though I understand you can buy followers, which explains all of the  'people you may know' suggestions for people I don't even know.

  4. The constant posting on social media of every aspect of their life was part of the MLM company she worked for.    Anything to make it look like her life was wonderful, and it was due to the company she worked for, and boasting about how great the products were.   

    A lot of their money came from Shannan's MLM company, and she worked for them, so she posted everything.    I've actually known people who posted literally everything on social media, I find it bizarre, but it's a way of life.  She also posted to show how wonderful the company's products were, and how they made her family's life better.   It was over the top, but part of the job.    

    I know it usually happens that way, but the way his family victim blames the wife is despicable, and they're still doing it.    Then, trying to take everything over with the funeral, and the home was disgusting.   I'm just glad they were blocked.   Shannan's family really stood up for her, and the poor kids.    Right after the murder, his family couldn't wait to try to take the house, and get rid of everything owned by Shannan and her children (I refuse to even think they were related to their murderer).   

    The true heroes in this story are Shannan's family who never stopped fighting to prevent her murderer and his despicable family from profitting from her death, and those adorable children.  They had to fight to get control of the funeral.  No one from Shannan's in-laws family even came to the funeral.    And the neighbor who demanded the police look at his camera footage, and listen to his story disproving Chris Watts' alibi, and Shannan's friends who never stopped pushing to get police to find out what happened to her.    The friends also notified police she was missing, and that screwed up Watts timeline to cover up the murder, and get her car away from the house, driven by a 'friend'.     The police who also listened to the neighbors and the friends, and that screwed up Chris Watts' cover up.   

    I still wonder what the true story about his final girlfriend was, she apparently just disappeared from the area.   I'm suspecting she was relocated.

    I didn’t know about this!  Now I have to go look it up!  But, yeah, they might as well have a one sentence lawsuit “we’re suing because we want our ratings back”. Idiots. 

    Yes, the same network (A&E) who said they weren't responsible for keeping footage, just the production company was, and they shouldn't be a party to the lawsuit from a couple of year ago.   Now, since Reelz is showing On Patrol: Live, A&E wants to get money from the production company because it's copying their previous show, and I guess want revenue?   I barely watched A&E, and I'm not watching them after this.  

    I wonder if since Live PD is gone, if they'll change the topic title to On Patrol Live?

  6. New episode "Tri-State Scratch King" In Sioux City, Iowa.  Single dad Cody needs a home to share with his 5-year-old son Brooks.    Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota   meet in the corner, so they call it Tri-State.  Cody won $600k total, he won $500k and bought a fixer 5 years ago,and a year ago won anothe, $100k.   Now he's buying a new home that he won't have to fix up.    Before he bought a fixer after   1500 sq ft 2-3 bath 2 bath, nice back yard.   Budget is $350k, and he's willing to look in any of the three states.  He's a contractor, so he wants an unfinished basement. 

    House 1- Quimby Place, in South Dakota,  $330k , 4 bed, 2 bath, 1680 sq ft. unfinished basement. nice family/great room, nice kitchen, not a white kitchen (I may have one, but it's not my choice), split bedroom plan all on one level, with the unfinished basement.   Mainbedroom is nice, ensuite is big but needs an update. Unfinished basement has a picnic table in it.   Backyard is great, with a big patio, but no fence, are fences allowed? So, I'm guessing the current homeowners use the unfinished basement a lot, during the long cold winters there.     

    House 2- Bellevue Bluff in Sioux City, Iowa, townhouse, a new build,  $335k , 2 bed, 2 bath, 1520 sq ft.  Townhouse looks pretty turnkey.   kids bedroom is nice, great walk-in closet.    Main bedroom is nice, en suite has double sinks, huge shower.    Unfinished basement is 1520 sq. ft,  No mention of HOA fees.   I think there's a 2 car garage.   Very modern home, with great finishes. 

    (Poor David has a ton of pollen allergies, so he sounds awful.  He's 48, and didn't develop allergies until two years ago).

    House 3- Plum Creek, in South Dakota, $289,500 ,they're duplexes, brand new corner unit.   2 bed, 2 bath, 1700 sq. ft. beautiful kitchen, dining, and family room.   Lots of kitchen storage,  bedrooms are bigger than house #2, great bathroom ensuite, basement is ready to finish.   back yard is nice patio, and some dirt ready to finish.    Only 1 egress window, so you can only add one more basement bedroom.  (Since there is a lot of lumber and sawhorses in the basement, I guess this is the one Cody bought)  No mention of HOA either.  he'll do his own landscaping. 

    He chooses #3, he  says there are great schools in that city. I hope Cody and Brooks are very happy.   I bet finishing the basement will be spectacular.

  7. 4 p.m. episodes-

    First (2014)-

    Dehydrated Defendant -Plaintiff Pearline Williams-White suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Tommy Hughes for return of their two cars, that are both in her name.   The litigants are now split up, and fighting over two cars.  Cars were put in plaintiff’s name, and she wants both cars, but defendant paid for both cars, and plaintiff has the title and tags to both cars.   Defendant wants the titles to register the cars in his name, and defendant has the two cars.   2006 GMC Envoy, and a Honda Accord are the vehicles in question.  Defendant keeps chugging the “Water that Should not be Drunk”.

    Defendant says he already has three cars in his name, but still wants the other two cars.

    JJ tells the defendant which of the two cars each one wants.

    Plaintiff wants the Mercedes, not the Honda, but she’s getting the Honda, and defendant gets the Envoy, if plaintiff gives the signed title to defendant.

    Plaintiff gets the 1999 Honda, and $1500.   Defendant will put plaintiff and her daughter’s clothes in the Honda when he turns it over.  (A complication is plaintiff lives in Virginia, and defendant lives in Alabama, so defendant will figure out how to get the car to her).

    Lethal Lemon -Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Jessica Tidwell suing defendant/ex-husband Ed Sprague and his former employer Kenneth Schoeff over a lemon car they sold her.   Car was defendant Schoeff’s car, and 13 years old, and had 147,000 miles with a rebuilt engine in it.    Ex-husband isn’t really a proper defendant, just Schoeff.    

    Plaintiff thinks a 13-year-old car will never have an issue.    JJ is upset that Schoeff doesn’t work, but he has kidney disease, heart disease, and a few other things.   There is no written guarantee on the car. Plaintiff doesn’t have a bill of sale for the car, and didn’t have the car evaluated by a mechanic before buying the car.  

    Plaintiff case dismissed. 

    Second (2014)-

    Ailing Uncle Going Blind -Plaintiff /uncle Richard Granado suing defendant/niece Mellisa Wada for illegal eviction, and theft of property she kept after she evicted him.   Uncle lived with niece for over a year, and paid nothing.  Defendant is counter suing uncle for invasion of privacy, unpaid rent, and damages to her property.   

    Uncle moved in with niece when he found his wife was screwing niece’s mother’s husband (niece’s mother is plaintiff’s sister, to put it better, uncle’s wife was screwing his sister’s husband), and the wife was divorced.    Plaintiff is on disability, for about $700 a month.   

    Defendant says agreement was $250 twice a month rent ($500 a month).   When niece found out that uncle couldn’t pay the rent, and so she wanted $200 or $300 a month, and use his EBT card (food stamps on debit card), to help the household. 

    Defendant did not do a legal eviction, even though uncle didn’t pay rent.  

    Defendant says plaintiff took all of his property with him when he moved out.  However, an email from niece says she’s storing items for uncle. 

    Plaintiff gets $0, and will pick up the stuff in bins at defendant’s house, in the next five days or it can be dumped.

    Bahamas Cruise Crisis -Plaintiff Ginny Faint suing defendant Kim Smith for $478.30, over a trip plaintiff paid for to the Bahamas.  Defendant belongs to a travel club, and plaintiff was going to pay for both of their trips, and did.  

    However, defendant says she paid all of the expenses, and wants her money repaid.   Plaintiff didn’t go on the trip, and so both tickets were paid for by plaintiff, and defendant never paid for her ticket.   Defendant says the trip was $69 each, but there were port fees, and other items.  

    However, defendant went on trip with her fiance, but plaintiff didn’t go.  

    Plaintiff paid $69 to defendant.    Plaintiff claims price of trip went from $69 to over $200, claims she paid defendant $478.

    Plaintiff case dismissed. 

    5 p.m. episodes-

    First (2017)-

    Duplex Confusion-Plaintiff Nicole Edwards suing former roommate/defendant Wendy Halligan-Douglas, for security deposit from a rental they shared two years ago, and money paid towards a bill.  Plaintiff, her mother, and one child lived in the duplex for 2 1/2 years, then defendant moved in.    Plaintiff's mother was the signatory on the lease, and paid the security deposit.   Defendant moved in during June, and but went on the lease two months later.  Plaintiff's mother moved out, and defendant was living in one or two bedrooms of the duplex.    A year later plaintiff moved out, and defendant stayed, with her husband, and child.    

    The damages are each blamed on the other litigant.   When plaintiff moved out, she claims she had a walk through with the landlord, but has no paperwork.     At that point plaintiff should have asked for her security back, and defendant would have had to pay the security deposit.    The utility bills are submitted, and plaintiff claims she put bill in her own name, after defendant didn't pay.     However, defendant has utility bills in her own name, or husband's, to keep the utilities on.  Plaintiff doesn't have a bill for utilities in her own name, or any proof of payment.  

    Defendant called CPS about drunken, drugged plaintiff, and her child neglect.

    Plaintiff is told to go back to her local court (Sacramento, CA) for the security deposit.  

    Uber Roommate Argument-Plaintiff  Rami Shawjrawi suing former roommate/defendant Feras Babeyeh for a loan to pay off credit card debt, and utility bills.    Credit card was paid off before defendant moved into the apartment.   Defendant paid off $1165 for the credit card bills, but defendant claims he was letting plaintiff use his car for Uber (only for three weeks).  Plaintiff bought beds for both when they moved into the house.  Defendant claims he was going to let the plaintiff use his car for six months, but it turned out to be three weeks.   

    When defendant moved out, he left the bed behind that plaintiff paid for.   Plaintiff admits he had the bed, that costs $558, and plaintiff left the bed behind   Plaintiff paid off the defendant's credit card debt, so the defendant could refinance the car loan, and in return plaintiff would drive the car for Uber.    Plaintiff was also put on the defendant's car insurance.   

    Plaintiff is a grad student working on his Ph. D.      However, he's never been an Uber driver. 

    $1165 for the credit card pay off.  

    Second (2017)-

    Home for Eight Children-Plaintiff/landlady Deborah Evans is suing former tenant Pauletta Davis for damages to rental property, utility bills, and a stolen phone.   Defendant moved in with her eight children, and husband, and blames the damages on the children.   $1595 was rent, $1595 was security, but only paid a little over $1200 (It was under Section 8, but defendant has to pay the security deposit).      

     There are giant holes in the walls, lots of trash in the house.   Defendant says the plaintiff had a problem with the kids, ranging from 4 to 15.     Defendant says plaintiff would come to the house at 6 a.m., and lock the children outside all day.    Plaintiff bought the house in 1991, lived there until 2009, her son lived there for a while, and then she rented it out after remodeling the house.   Plaintiff says she bought for $41k and sold in 2017 for $190k, (reduced from $200k for the damages), and rented it out for seven years.  

    As JJ says, plaintiff was getting the full rent from Section 8, but still told defendant to leave.   Plaintiff wanted the defendant, husband, and eight children out because of damages to house, fence, yard, etc.    There are tons of junk outside the garage, and in the yard, including tires.   Interior damages are huge holes in the walls, and the pictures of the yard and house trash are appalling.     The children regularly played basketball in the house.     Defendant claims she had to fix all of the damage to qualify for another Section 8 home.    

    Defendant says she didn't have any supervision for her eight kids, so they destroyed the house.   Tenants only lived in house for 14 months, and claims she was homeless when she moved out, and pays $1500 a month for her children to stay in a motel room.   Plaintiff did not bring receipts to fix damages in the house.  Plaintiff's husband fixed the damages in the house.   Plaintiff sold the house after this, and had to reduce the sale price by $10,000 to the buyer for damage repairs.    

    Case is dismissed, there were few repairs done, and no receipts.    Plaintiff has utility bills she paid that defendant didn't pay (but no receipts for payments).   Plaintiff wants to be paid for a cell phone she claims defendant, or her children stole from her. 

    Both cases are dismissed.   Plaintiff sold the property, and defendant trashed the place, so she's not getting her security deposit back.   (I hope plaintiff's new landlord saw this show, and where ever her out of control kids are staying).  Defendant's moving fees aren't getting paid by Officer Byrd either. 

    (Why do landlords ever come on this show?  Or The People's Court either? They must think it will be the one time the judge sides with the landlord, but it very rarely is.)

    Widow Payback?!-Plaintiff Karen Midthun suing her late cousin's widower, Dillon Staley for an unpaid car loan.   Defendant's late wife was diagnosed with a terminal disease at 19 or 20, and died not too long later.   Plaintiff co-signed on the loan (defendant, and his late wife are both young, and had a child) for a car, and after the wife died, the defendant couldn't pay for the loan.     

    Defendant couldn't afford the payments, so dropped the car at the bank, and it was sold at auction, with a deficit.     Defendant was the primary, and the bank (it actually was a repossession) should have garnished the defendant's wages.     Defendant had the car for 2 years, and he and his new girlfriend have an F-150 (apparently, he has the one truck, and there are more).     The bank notice came to the defendant's address, and he ignored it, and the bank went after the co-signer plaintiff. 

    In the hall-terview defendant says he's not in contact with his wife's aunt because she doesn't come around, and doesn't like his new girlfriend.  Plaintiff says the defendant certainly found a new girlfriend quickly, and she disapproves of the way they're carrying on. $5,000 to plaintiff.     (I hope this was the total shortfall).

    @Welshman in Ca AMEN! My best friend called me last year and started with "I need your Judge Judy advice", she'd had a cement company pour a stamped concrete walkway and they did a HORRIBLE job (visible footprints, cement all over her new siding and storm door, steps that dip in the corners and crooked stamping pattern). She refused to pay (thankfully no money had been given) until it was torn out and redone. The contractor threatened her with small claims. I told her do everything over text or email and save them, take pics, (lots of them), of the walkway and to be civil in every text/email conversation, stick to the facts. He hasn't contacted her since she told him she was prepared for court whenever he wanted to file. 

    I think I've learned more from JJ than anything my parents taught me. 

    Good point about learning from JJ.   My parents never complained about anything a worker did, from bad front stairs, to someone ripping them off, or someone being a bully.   So, I'm sure you're not the only one who learned a lot about protecting yourself, and your money from JJ.

  9. Sacramento to Houston.   I was a federal employee also, and they paid for some of my moves, but sometimes they didn't.     I liked the house hunter, he seems like someone who embraces change, and tries to make the most of a change in situations.   3 bed 2.5 bath is what he wants, I love the overhead shot with the pool shaped like Texas, I wonder if it was a lazy river?   He wants move-in ready.   My $250k budget.   His mom wants a first floor bedroom.     My advice for Houston is 'never flooded' as the most important factor.    

    house 1-$233,900, needs a little work, no garage just a very nice looking carport, realtor says carport to 2 car garage is $1100 (in her dreams),  4 bed, 2 bath, I like the open living/dining/kitchen, kitchen looks great.    It really needs a lawn care service, replace the back shed, and pour a big patio.     I wish they had put LVP instead of carpets in the bedrooms.    primary bedroom has a nice ensuite, but I hate vessel sinks.   

    house 2-new build but surrounded by a few other new, but none of other homes look that nice, , no first floor bedroom, $289k, 10 minutes from downtown , 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 2 story, 2 car garage, small but privacy fenced yard.   nice kitchen with big island, realtor says $2-$300 dollars to replace the kitchen back splash, carpet upstairs in the bedrooms, primary bedroom is lovely, with shower only in the ensuite,    

    house 3-$245k , 3 bed, 2.5 bath,  2 car garage, further out from work, two story, 1894 sq ft, , no first floor bedroom, nice kitchen with a big pantry, nice back yard, fully fenced. neighborhood is full of chickens and roosters, and I don't like the overhead camera shot of the neighborhood.   carpeted stairs and bedrooms.  I don't like the neighborhood from the drone view, This is the only primary ensuite with a tub and shower. 

    He buys #3, I would also pick #1 for the neighborhood, distance from work, and single story. 

    I used to live out in the county, and they didn't prohibit chickens or roosters.   There was a rather annoying rooster who crowed constantly, and unfortunately seems to have taken lessons in how to make his crow louder.   As time went by, you could tell when the owners were sick of him, because the crowing that first was down the street, suddenly started coming from up the street, and then would move every month or so.   Lots of places that allow chickens don't allow roosters.

  10. Rerun, "Hotel Horror"

    Case 1-Plaintiff suing defendant over the suite they were supposed to share in Atlantic City, for $470.    Plaintiff says room had two teeny tiny beds, smelled bad, and she was out in the cold when defendant threw her out, hotel room was in defendant's name.    Litigants used to work at a funeral home in New York.   They were going to a 70's party.   Defendant sent the pictures of the hotel room to plaintiff, however, room wasn't acceptible.   Room smelled like B.O.,  Plaintiff thought they were getting a suite, with a living room.   

    When plaintiff and another friend arrived, they went into the hotel room, and it wasn't a suite, very tiny, 2 tiny beds, and room reaked.   Plaintiff says defendant and another friend were all drinking, and the defendant's friend was blotto.    So, plaintiff says defendant and friend told plaintiff and other friend to get out of the room, or they were calling the police.   So, plaintiff and her friend left.   Can you imagine how bad the defendant smelled to gross out plaintiff, who used to work in a funeral home? 

    Defendant says photos of suite were from a different hotel, not the suite defendant wanted to rent.   Defendant says when plaintiff sent the $250, that defendant told her it wasn't a suite, and two people would have to share each queen bed in the room (it was at the Claridge).

    Texts from plaintiff show she knew it was a 1 bedroom, with 2 queen beds.     

    Plaintiff gets $250 for the room, and that's it.    (So, the litigants used to work in a funeral home, so the room smell was worse?)

    Case 2-Little old lady get $470 plus court costs to get her fridge  repair costs back from shady defendant.   Repairman/defendant is obviously a jerk.  

    Monday TPC will be zapped by drag racing, but the rest of the week, and the next week will be reruns.   I don't know when the new season starts, but from their FB page it will be with remote testimony permanently (It saves a ton of travel, hotel, and transportation costs).   However, I currently get a recent rerun at 10 am, and another from this season at 3 pm, or when they start the new season they were running at 3 pm.   For the  3 pm slot, they're older episodes., this week and next week, they're 2018 episodes.       Of course, that may not be what actually is aired, sometimes the listing has the 3 pm and 10 am reversed.  My cable guide doesn't seem to like consistency.

    Thanks.  I look forward to finding out what their real status is and whether he'll really be deported or leave after they divorce.  Another thing in Yve's favor is that I think she will follow through with the divorce without delay and not chase after Mohamed trying to reconcile or doing anything else to help him.

    I hope she does.    I think Mo hadn't done research, and just figured he could import Mom and the rest of the family.  However, to import relatives of his from Egypt will take a long time, and cost a lot.

  12. I loved how she did the bedroom, and therapy area for the child with autism.     I get a kick out of her relationship with Victor and Junior, the contractors also.

    Tonight's new episode "Work Hard Play Hard" a mother and daughter duo (Daughter goes off to college in a year) who currently have the smallest kitchen island, with cooktop in it on earth.  Jenn will lower the two tier breakfast bar.  I like she's going to move the cooktop from the island to the counter top, and add a range hood.   Then, for the kitchen demo, Victor gives her every protective construction item you can wear, a biohazard suit, saftey vest, hard hat, gloves, safety glasses, and her suit hood, she's scraping popcorn ceiling. 

    I love the cabinet color on the island, and the back splash tile is so nice. I like the after on the kitchen.  

    The other remodel is for 8 year-old twins playroom.  I love the double staircase on the home.  There is very little storage.    I'm not in favor of a climbing wall in the playroom.   I like the way the playroom turned out, but still not happy with the climbing rope, or climbing wall.  

    I suspect that the homeowner gets a ton of input about what they want, the colors they use, and features that are changed.   I think the lady with the lovely turquoise office wanted something that would show up on remote meetings, but not in the rest of her life.   I'm sure the design meetings are a lot more extensive than we see on camera.

  14. 4 p.m. episodes-

    First (2014)-

    Babysitting Danger -Plaintiff /former nanny Kara Simpson suing defendant/father of kids Matthew Ellwood for unpaid babysitting fees.     Plaintiff was nanny/babysitter for defendant’s two children.   Children are 5 -years-old, and 20 months-old.    When defendant’s ex, mother of kids, she smelled pot on nanny, she reported it to CPS.    Plaintiff only babysat for five days total, for $100 a day.   Plaintiff claims she babysat for 8 days, which turns out to be 6 days.          Defendant claims plaintiff was reported to CPS for smoking Weed by his ex-wife, mother of kids.    Defendant claims after he fired her, she called and texted over 40 times to demand her money, showed at his house high on meth (or is it stoned?).

    The last day the plaintiff was supposed to get paid, she didn’t take her $20 stroller.  But both CPS, and police showed up after she left because of the CPS report about Weed use.    Later, when plaintiff showed to get her money, defendant says she was high on meth, and claims she admitted it. 

    $140 for plaintiff. 

    Horse Lands in Pool -Plaintiff Deborah and John Adent suing defendant /horse owner Howard Delaney over defendant’s horse ending up in plaintiff’s pool after a bad wind storm.  Defendant says the previous owners at plaintiff’s home took down the chain link fence, and put up a privacy fence instead, and the wooden fence was the one that failed during the wind storm.   So, no fence around the pool, or on the fence line, means horse ended up in the pool.  

    Plaintiff’s privacy fence was the one that failed, and blames defendant for the horse wandering.    This is in Washington, which is a fence in state, meaning the animal owner is responsible to fence their animals in.  However, plaintiffs made no effort to fix the wooden fence, and after fence was blown down, they did nothing.     The fence failing was an Act of God, and not defendant’s fault, or his fence.    However, I think defendant should put up a fence slightly on his side of the property line, to keep his horse or horses in, so one doesn’t get out on the road, or fall in the pool again.  

    Defendant in the hall-terview says the plaintiffs actually took down his temporary fence when he was building a permanent fence, and didn’t bother to tell him they were removing the fence, so horse got out again.  Defendant also says plaintiffs are suing the neighbor on the other side about something also.

    Plaintiffs’ case dismissed.

    Second (2014)-

    Property Held Hostage -Plaintiffs (partners) Clinton Casidy and Brandon Bach, suing defendant James Casidy Jr (Clinton’s Cousin), for selling their truck and its contents without their permission.  Defendant sold truck for $500, and wants his property back.  Counter suit from defendant is for his property back, that Clinton has it.   Clinton went out of town, and added defendant cousin James to the title, and that legally made truck defendant’s property to sell.   All three litigants have a storage unit, with all of their property in the unit, and it’s in Brandon’s name, and it’s been rented for 11 months.    The truck in question is a 1986 model. 

    Defendant sold the truck, and will only give the information about the buyer or the money for the truck, after he gets his property in the storage unit back. 

    JJ says for plaintiffs to get the $500 for the truck, and then defendant will get his stuff back from the storage unit.   Or plaintiffs will sell defendant’s property.   

    Defendant claims his property is worth more than $500.   

    Decision is $500 for truck to plaintiffs, and they all go storage together, and defendant gets his stuff.

    Defendant refuses to agree to this, so plaintiffs are told to sell defendant’s stuff that is in the storage unit.

    Brothers and Bail Money -Plaintiff/brother Jamerson Ferrell suing defendant/brother Chammoco “Chaco”  Ferrell for repayment of bail money for a domestic violence charge.

    Plaintiff wired the money to the defendant’s girlfriend, because you had to pay in person at the jail.   Girlfriend Jennifer is not the mother of any of his five children.   Bail money was taken for back child support, so plaintiff brother had to pay $2676 to get defendant out of jail.  Charges were later dropped by the victim.   Plaintiff would have received the bail money back, except for the back child support owed by the defendant. 

    In his lying sworn statement, defendant swears the plaintiff brother paid the bail in person at the jail, but plaintiff lives 1500 miles away (this happened in South Dakota).

    Plaintiff gets his $2676 back, and not even a thank you from his rotten brother. Plaintiff swears he done with defendant, and he’ll never talk to him again.

    5 p.m. episodes-

    First (2017)-

    Tree-Killing Mystery-Plaintiff William Giboyeaux suing defendant/landscaper Richard Gutierrez, Sr for chopping down the plaintiff's two huge trees.  Defendant was hired to trim Crepe Myrtles (hopefully not butchered in the way we call Crepe Murder in the South).   Plaintiff has a 'before' picture of the front of his house with two big lovely trees (Crepe Myrtles) that need trimming, and there is also one tree in the back yard that needed trimming.   Litigants agreed to $150 to trim the two trees in front.  The plaintiff wanted the two trees trimmed, but instead the defendant chopped the two trees down.   Plaintiff denies he wanted the trees chopped down, or ever said anything but 'trim' to the defendant.  

    Receipt says $150 to trim and stack (put branches in the back yard for later removal), instead the defendant chopped the entire trees down to the ground, and defendant wrote cut down to the ground.  

    The after picture is awful, the two trees that were taller than the house, are now two stumps, barely above the ground.   (No one would take down, and stack two trees of that size, and call it anything but 'tree removal'.    A lot of places you have to get a permit to remove trees, and you would have to pay a lot more than $150 total for two big trees to be removed.)  

    JJ simply doesn't realize that at worst, bad landscapers chop Crepe Myrtles back to a central, naked trunk (called Crepe Murder), but should trim them back a foot or two, and remove the lower branches.  

    JJ says it was miscommunication, not incompetence.   It will cost a lot of money, and take many years for two new Crepe Myrtles to grow to that size.   So, getting someone who was working on the neighbor's yard to do your trees, and trying to save some money, backfired.    

    Case dismissed.  

    You Just Don't Get it!-Plaintiff Arlena Jones suing former friend Kristen Garcia for unpaid car payments, ruined credit, and car damage.   Plaintiff wanted a bigger car, so she sold the car to defendant for taking over the payments.  Defendant only made one payment, didn't pay the next two months, so plaintiff repossessed the car.   Car still had payments left on the note.   Defendant owes $638 for two months payments.    Car would have been paid off in a year.  

    Plaintiff's mechanic witness is her husband, so he's dismissed.   Plaintiff claims she had to replace the motor in the car.  

    Defendant claims she pre-paid six months of insurance, and wants that money refunded to her, and claims she was harassed.  Defendant claims she made one of the missed car payments, but has no proof.

    $638 to plaintiff for two missed payments.

    School Bus-Driving Mom Sues Son!?-Plaintiff Leslie Liston suing her son Marcus Cardoza for a loan made to buy a truck.    $1400 remains on the truck loan, which the defendant/son stopped paying.  Defendant was unemployed at the time of the truck purchase, and defendant lived with her, and he's still unemployed.     Son and mother argued, and son moved out and is couch surfing now.    

    $1400 for plaintiff mother.   

    Second (2017)-

    Kennedy Assassination Translation fail!  -Plaintiff / translator Jose Carneiro suing defendant/author David Nolan Sr. for not paying him for translating the defendant's Kennedy assassination book into Portuguese.    Defendant's book is fiction about Lee Harvey Oswald surviving Jack Ruby's attempt to kill him, and the trial that would have happened.    Defendant claims plaintiff would be paid 50/50 from the profits of the book sales for the Portuguese edition.   (Book is titled Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald, and is available in English on Amazon, and maybe other sites). 

    There are no other translations, and defendant said the translator should publicize the book too.  When plaintiff finished the translation, he sent defendant the bill, and defendant refused to pay ($4828 was the bill for the translation). 

    JJ says there is no contract between the two men.    Interesting, because defendant is a former attorney in the Reagan Administration, so no contract is bizarre.

    JJ says since defendant doesn't have the Portuguese translation, then plaintiff should sell him the book he translated, if the defendant wants the book.   Defendant says he doesn't want the book, so plaintiff did this for nothing.  

    Case dismissed.  

    Boiling Water Fight-Plaintiff Angel Navarro is suing his brother, Jose Sanchez, for medical bills, and punitive damages, from a fight a year ago, when the plaintiff claims his brother threw boiling water on him.    Plaintiff and defendant had an argument over the plaintiff's missing cigarettes (plaintiff says the defendant's friend stole cigarettes, and other items from the home).  Plaintiff, and the litigants' mother live in the house together.   Plaintiff went to take a nap, then defendant decided to boil some eggs, and plaintiff gets up from his nap, goes in the kitchen, tells defendant his friend isn't welcome at the house where plaintiff and their mother live.   

    Plaintiff told defendant to leave the house after defendant was threatening him.    Then, when plaintiff went to open the door, defendant threw boiling water on plaintiff's back, and he was taken to the ER, and released a few hours later.   Plaintiff had second degree burns on his back, and now has medical bills coming in from the ER visit.  Defendant says that brother attacked him, and he pushed him away, and the plaintiff hit the stove, and when he hit the pot of boiling water, it turned over on plaintiff's back. 

    Defendant says they argued, and plaintiff grabbed his wrists, (demonstrated on a very unhappy looking Officer Byrd), claims the brother caused the water to turn over.  So how did that turn into boiling water on the back?   Plaintiff says when he turned his back on defendant, that defendant threw the boiling water on his back. 

    $5,000 to plaintiff.

  15. I'm watching a rerun New Design in the Old Hood, where the house flooded, because before they went skiiing for a week, one of the boys left the hand held shower device running and a week later they came back to massive water damage from the second floor to the entire first floor.     

    How does someone not check to make sure everything's off before going on vacation?      I suspect the shower had everything left on, full blast.   I bet it's happened before too, since the parents seems rather calm about their house being destroyed.    I'm wondering if their insurance covered it?   If it did, I bet they cancelled them right after.

  16. The house was built in the 70's, the outside was fine once the siding was scraped and painted.   The inside was very nice after, floor plan made more sense.    I think they're going with whoever applies for the show, has the boat load of money to do the reno, and is willing to be on camera with all of the testing, and everything that goes with filming in pandemic times.      I'm hoping we get real farmhouses again too.  

    I hope that last week's turn historic farmhouse into California chic doesn't continue.    The kitchens are often more modern than I like, but still tasteful, and very useful for the family.    Part of the redo, with new material that's on before the new regular episode showed the kitchen they did for Kristen Marino, with a baking room for her business, and that was very nicely done (she's the cupcake lady).     Next Wednesday last night's episode will be rerun at 6 pm Central.      The new episode at 8 pm Central is a 1790's farmhouse, and I hope that will be back to restoring it, not making it look like every other farmhouse chic modern house.

  17. "Friendship Fireworks"   Rerun.   

    Case 1-Plaintiff suing her old (now former) friend over a car she bought for defendant, and defendant's incarcerated boyfriend, car was in plaintiff's name, but got repossessed for non-payment.     Plaintiff says defendant had car for a year, and tickets were in plaintiff's name too, and plaintiff says $1300 worth of tickets.   Plaintiff doesn't care about her repo on her name.   

    Defendant's story is totally different, her boyfriend was only in jail for a little while, defendant needed extra money for boyfriend's fines and bond.    So, plaintiff financed car, and defendant and boyfriend would sell the car, and put the money towards boyfriend's bail.   Car was $3,000, so it was to rip off for  the finance company.  Defendant says the guy who was putting up the mail, would get the car instead of payment.   Defendant says she never drove the car, or even rode in it once.   Then plaintiff claims defendant drove car off of lot.   

    Now defendant claims ex-boyfriend gave plaintiff $1,000, to go to Miami, and have the fat sucked out of her stomach lard, and put in her butt, and ex went along, and paid for the rest on Care credit.   I know this will be heart warming, but defendant's boyfriend beat the case for a potential 25 to life charge (it was a murder case).   Why didn't plaintiff sue the boyfriend?  Answer is because she's a crook, defendant and boyfriend are crooks. 

    JM dismisses plaintiff's case on the tickets.  Defendant case dismissed, because it's stupid. (I'm not sure I got everything right in this bizarre case.    I may have left out a character or two, but it's the worst case of unclean hands by both sides I've seen in a long time). 

    Case 2-Plaintiff rented apartment from defendant, building was sold, and plaintiff wants her $1,000 security deposit back.  Defendant purchased under a program where she had to move into, and live in the building, so she evicted the plaintiff.   The loan was a FHA loan, and for residential property, not investment.     Plaintiff was given the choice of leaving in two months, but landlord is letting her have 30 days more, for $800.    However, plaintiff did not move out on 1 October.    Who is the defendant kidding about the loan requirements?   They make you sign every part of the loan documents stating it's residential. 

    Another case like Case 1, where everyone is doing bad things.    Plaintiff said she would move anywhere in NJ, but Camden (search city-data forum for "how dangerous is Camden NJ," it's an interesting read), or "what's the most dangerous U.S. city you've been to".     Plaintiff threatened to stop paying rent, and because of the pandemic eviction moratorium defendant couldn't evict plaintiff for months.  

    Plaintiff was a jerk, defendant also was and knows nothing about landlord/tenant laws. 

    Plaintiff gets $2,000, double the security deposit, because defendant didn't follow the landlord/tenant rules about notifying tenant why they were keeping the security deposit. 

    My guess is landlords only come on here because they can get the award paid by the court, and keep the money the plaintiff is suing for.

  18. By the way, congratulations to Harley and Jon on their marriage. 

    I'm watching the new clip episode, (7 pm Central) with part new about moving the little shed or barn for the goats, with clips of season 1 animal scenes, and I love it.   I hope the 7 pm Central episode keeps on the same theme.  Before the new house episode (8 pm Central) "East Coast Farmhouse West Coast Vibes". (If anyone wants to see the previous week's episode, it's on at 6 pm Central).    So, on the 7 pm Central sort of rerun, combines animal clips from past shows, with Jon moving and setting up an old shed or small barn for a goat pen, and playspace.   I guess this is the new season with a little of older clips.   

    Jon is so color blind, he can't tell colors at all, and Kristina tells that his color choices have been rather strange.   His mother's house is purple, he painted it,  and she doesn't like it.   Poor guy can't tell the difference between red and green. 

    He talks about the dog house he built for Mrs. Marino from last season, and it's all new footage.   Only a few scenes are from a past show.

    The goat pen turned out so well.   I love getting to know the back story of Jon, his project manager, and contractor.     The goat house or "New Kids at the Barn" turned out so well.   Harley's outdoor play space for the three goats is adorable.  

    East Coast Farmhouse, West Coast Vibes, Season 2, episode 3 (I think the season 1 clip show last week was Season 2, episode 2).   He talks to Lindsay and Leslie from Unsellable Houses, he judged their kitchen on Rock the Block, and called the counter tops basic.    The house this week is a farmhouse reproduction from the 1970's.   The house is a mess on the outside.      The interior is 1970's old and outdated.  I'm questioning the quality of the original build.  The original house is now down to the studs.    There was nothing worth saving inside in my opinion, and I really wonder how structurally safe the house was when it was originally built.  

    The segment about the rescue for farm animals was so adorable.   Also, the cameraman worried about Jon in the pen with the Emu.   His rabbit habitat for the homeowners was adorable.  

    The before on the 70's house was hideous, and the after is adorable.
